"Geriatrics
is the medical specialty dedicated
exclusively to providing high-quality,
patient-centered care for older
adults. Older adults have a unique set of
issues and concerns which geriatric
clinicians are trained to focus upon.
Illnesses, diseases, and medications may
affect older people differently than younger
adults, and older patients may have
overlapping health problems that require
multiple medications. Geriatricians prevent
and manage illnesses and develop care plans
that address the special health problems of
older adults." Source
